1. Dimethoate is an organophosphate insecticide. The objective of this work was to determine the enzymatic kinetics of metabolism of dimethoate and its active metabolite omethoate in rats and humans and obtain key input parameters for physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model. 2. First, the intrinsic clearance of dimethoate expressed as formation rate of omethoate was determined to be ∼42-fold lower in human liver microsomes (HLM) (0.39 µL/min/mg) than in rat liver microsomes (RLM) (16.6 µL/min/mg) by an LC/MS/MS method. Next, dimethoate clearance in liver microsomes was determined using parent depletion and total [ 14 C]-metabolite formation methods. Results from both approaches showed slower clearance of dimethoate in HLM (1.1–3.3 µL/min/mg) than in RLM (12.7–17.4 µL/min/mg). 3. Investigation of  in vitro  enzymatic kinetics of omethoate demonstrated that the intrinsic clearance rates for omethoate in adult and juvenile RLM and HLM were similar. No significant turnover of dimethoate was apparent in rat cytosol or plasma. In contrast, degradation of omethoate in human plasma was slightly higher than in rat plasma. 4. Finally, toxicokinetics of dimethoate were determined in adult and juvenile rats. In both age groups, following oral dosing, absorption of dimethoate was rapid with formation of significant amounts of omethoate.
